Hello Amarok Community,

A few weeks ago i started to use ubuntu linux and amarok.

I'm using a mysql database for my amarok collection.
The first part of my collection is on usb hd 1 and the second on usb hd 2.
each is mounted in /media/.
i usw two symlinks to the mp3 folders on the hard discs.

/music/symlink1 to mp3folder1/ and /music/symlink2 tomp3folder2/

I use /music as collection folder.

when i create the collection the first time everything is fine , but after reboot and 1 usbHd isn't mounted
amarok only can play the music on the first, and displays /media/usbhd1/mp3folder1 instead of ./music/'symlink1 to mp3folder 1'. the files on the second which isnt attached arent playable, which is correct.
but when i reattach the second it stays the same and the files arent playable because the path which is now ./mp3folder2/. is wrong.

in the amarokrc file the collection folder is 4=./music .


i tried to reconfigure the database in amarok where the collection folder was marked in a wrong way. this changed the collection folder in the amarokrc to 3=./music.


i hope this was unterstandable.  can it be possible that the dynamic collection feature is the reason for that? how can i reconfigure amarok that everything stays working? or simply stays the same?

What version of Amarok?

And its possible the symlinks are confusing Amarok, I would recommend just enabling them directly so that it can be ruled out.

i'm using version 1.46

i also tried to enable them directly but then it says /mp3FolderOnHarddisc/File as source instead of /media/device/mp3folderOnHarddisc/File

and the file ist grey

You've lost me, what says.
